MP Grimlock is just so beautiful.

Ditto, but personally I'll wait and see if Hasbro will put him out.
A lot of that Henkei stuff looked really good too.

I am getting MP-08 but if Hasbro does a domestic release that would make my year. My Japanese is not the best.

Man, every time I see MP Grimlock I want him more, and I wanted him from the beginning.
Henkei Smokescreen is a lighter blue than I was hoping for, but it still looks better than the Hasbro one. I'd hoped it would match the G1 version... maybe it's the lighting.

MP Grimlock does look fantastic. I go up and down with regards to alt modes for MP's. Sometimes wish they had updated Grimlock to have a more anatomically correct T rex mode though, and for the Seekers, perhaps an F-22 instead, though the current F-15 mold is still excellent. Still, Grimlock is awesome though, more than likely be picking him up

Henkei Dinobot is MUCH closer to cartoon accurate, I may actually get this guy now.
I am very happy with his revised paint work.

I hope so. I was really digging Henkei Smokescreen but he looks too powder puff blue in that shot.

Leave it to Takara to do Dinobot right. I am also interested in Red Alert.

Red Alert looks good.
Not sure if I want Smokescreen though. I already repainted my current one, But the Henkei does look better...

I wish they'd made Red Alerts fists red like in the cartoon.

Naaa...gotta have some accent in there. Two colors gets boring. I do hope they release him in the US...

Henkei Hot Shot looks the D's Bs. I'll bet he doesn't have the "JAam" licence plate though. That saddens me.

I bet Reprolabels can fix that

Beautiful, beautiful toys...
Red Alert came out excellent, and I do like the look of Smokescreen without the yellow. Still wanting to see pics of the other Minibot set, the one with Cliffjumper and Outback.

glad I put Hot Shot on Preorder. But I still want the Hasbro one to play with, and keep the Henkei one MIB.
The blue is lighter on Henkei Smokescreen, but the colors are a little more correct than the Hasbro one, but still I like mine's just fine.

I really want the Henkei Warpath, but these will only be available in the set, won't they? I actually prefer Hasbro's Wheelie so I didn't want to get all Henkeis.
